Cute cottage with beautiful views and dock. Stayed as a small family with two young children who loved the front patio/porch. Very close to shops, beach, and ferry but far enough that you can enjoy the sound of nothing but waves.

On the Water

This is a great location if you are there to fish or just relax! It has a great pier and is close to the center of everything! It's not fancy but great for just two. The management was super dealing with our concerns.

Fabulous location, house needs work

The location is perfect. The dock is perfect, the water super clear, it's close to everything. The house is a historic gem: it has withstood so many hurricanes. It's really sad to see it in such a state of disrepair. For example, there is an obious leak under the shower that is bowing the wood (original wood floor). A lot of things are old and about to break. But overall, we had a really good stay. I would still recommend this place, but adjust expectations.

Very nice place

We travel to Rockport for the first time just to have a couple of days of relaxing, and this house was just the right place. We did enjoy the deck. It has window units, not central AC, and ceiling fans in every room, however, if the noise bothers you, the window unit in the main bedroom is noisy. Noise does not bother me

Joy Cottage on Water Street

We loved the location which is less than 100 feet from the water, where we could see many birds and dolphins. The cottage was fully furnished and photos are accurate. We had a couple of minor issues, taken care of quickly.
